George,
I'm surprised by the relatively low-light conditions advised for
Echinodorus and Sagittaria. Is it your experience that plants in those
general grow well at the low end of the lighting range? I find that
they tend to "reach" and get ugly, or just don't grow.
Also, some Crypts are definitely *not* low-light plants and trying to
maintain them at the low end of the lighting range can only fail. I guess
this is just the inherent result of generalization.
